How the end of the de minimis tariff exemption is causing unexpected fees for K-beauty products

Mackenzie Knight unexpectedly faced a $20 tariff bill after purchasing $100 worth of Korean skincare products from YesStyle, following the end of the de minimis exemption that previously allowed tax-free imports under $800. This tariff change, part of a broader U.S. trade policy shift, is expected to raise prices and disrupt supply chains in the K-beauty industry, impacting consumers and retailers alike.
